well, first off, you have to chose wisely...my last GF was a complete bitch, i didnt get to do much of anything let alone fish, did i still fish? of course, but i had to deal with it... then i got sick of it... the one im with now, just so happens to have a cabin in Campbell River BC, and was born into fishing and being on the water... her Grandfather was good friends with Rodderick Haig-Brown, and other serious BC anglers and just grew up in it... lucky? possibly, but regardless, if you take something from me that i enjoy, expect the same to happen to you... usually when thats brought up, they think twice about what they are doing... if they cant deal with it, theres a chick out there that will... but, i have no kids, so its a little different, first and foremost, MAKE HER HAPPY, then she has no reason to bitch, if you do, and she still does, make her some crazy good recipe with fish, and that should change...i dont get that option tho, my GF is a veg-head...
